Advanced Diagnostic Pain Treatment Centers
Please make arrangements for a device that has video capability (smartphone, laptop, computer) or call to change your appointment to in person. Rides are typically available through your health insurance or through the State of Connecticut for free or at very little cost. Call 48 hours before your scheduled appointment and the service will give you a ride to your medical appointment and a ride back home.

Call your insurance company first because some offer this service without going through third parties. In order to ensure insurance coverage is in place for the video visit, the following schedule of telehealth end dates will be followed as dictated by the insurance carriers. If your insurance carrier has a telehealth end date that is prior to your scheduled visit, you will need to come to your visit in person.

We treat each individual patient according to their unique needs and circumstances and never take a cookie-cutter approach. We start with identifying the source of your pain, which has more successful long-term results than just treating symptoms alone. Then we develop a plan to reduce your pain and increase your function using state-of-the-art treatments and procedures.
Advanced Diagnostic Pain Treatment Centers, PC was established in 1999 when the Yale Center for Pain Management closed. Dr. Saberski, the Center's director, and Dr. Ligham, a post-doctoral fellow there, opened a private practice to serve the patients attended to at Yale and to continue their work in the specialty.

Advanced Diagnostic Pain Treatment Center provides regenerative stem cell therapy using adult stem cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections for joint and spinal pain. Regenerative stem cell medicine differs from traditional pain management treatments, such as narcotic medications and surgery, in that it stimulates the body's own repair mechanisms to heal damaged tissue.

Dr. Robbins is the 3rd pain management doctor I have seen prior to and after my spine surgeries. I had been in chronic debilating pain for years until I found him. He is familiar with and practices current technologies and treatments for pain, very calm, personable, explains everything thoroughly and an all around nice guy. He literally gave me my life back. I can't praise him enough.

Dr. Ligham is top-notch and wonderfully kind with a great bedside manner. When they say on their website that they do things differently, they really do! He sat with me for over an hour and really got to know me, my pain, my goals, and we decided on a treatment plan that had both his and my input. I am so excited to work with him and improve my pain and quality of life. I can't say enough positive things about my visit and hopes for the next steps, which will start soon.

The nurse named Sue Barry is very nasty and unprofessional to the patients! She speaks very rudely to patients and even walks away mid conversation! She is a poor representation of the business!

I've been going to advance diagnostic pain treatment since 2013. My neurologist recommended the group. He wanted me to see Dr Robbins unfortunately at the beginning He wasn't taking new patients and I had to see a different doctor who I didn't particularly care for But he did leave the practice. Although I loved seeing the PA's. When the doctor left the practice I was able to get in with Dr Robbins who is phenomenal! I love going to advance diagnostic pain treatment center. Dr Robbins is great. Along with the PA's Andy McDowell is my favorite I see him most of the time and then I see Dr Robbins

Dr. Ligham is the worst dr I have ever been to. He is very rude and belittling I was discriminated by him. I can’t even see a different dr at the practice because one they choose a dr for you you can’t change dr. He is not clear about people who have been approved for medical canibus to have to stop or not. Finally Andy told me that it is one or the other. So I stoped and a month later I had a clean urine test. I risked having a sezuire and had night terrors because I was also on the medical canibus for ptsd. He told me he won’t prescribe me medicine anyway! The office has no idea what to

Dr. Legum does not care about patient's injuries nor does his whole office . They never got to my injuries. and it took over three months before he got my medical records and took 10 minutes to go over my x-rays then send me home no medication he never raise me high enough to relieve my pain he doesn't even deserve one star . I was a patient for almost a year they charge me $5000 for two urinalysis and then discharge me with no medication and I have been in severe pain for six months now can't find another pain management I just wish I never went there

I've Been fighting chronic pain since a terrible car accident that we survived, Total disc replacement, spinal fusion, as well as, a spinal cord stimulator are my surgeries. Crps as a result of one.... Life has been hell for the last 5 years. I've yet to meet a more compassionate medical team. Dr. Lingham, his PA'S, as well as, the medical assistants (Patty, Courtney and others) are incredibly professional and compassionate. Within just a couple of months they have already fast exceeded treatment options that my doctor for the last 4 years, didn't even seam to know about. I have hope with this
